There are two of them, but I think they are both at the CERN.

One is displayed to the public, and, IIRC, the other one is in a showcase at the entrance of a lab.

I also see it at the Science Museum London in this gallery:

Was it a loan then? It looked like part of the permanent collection.

At my uni there is a student (from India, IIRC) that doesn't have any surname.

Some of our software didn't like that, so we checked her passport, and sure enough, her full name was merely her first name.

Oh man, I really feel for her. Dealing with the various immigration agencies must have been a nightmare. I bet they ended up officially changing her name to "Firstname Firstname", which is what we tend to do in the states..

This bugs me, because if a name is supposed to be a unique identifier, then part of it's existence is to feed the ego. "This is ME! I am Jean Valjean!"

When you then you change somebody's name to fit your short-sighted database constraints you're pretty much saying, "You don't matter as much as our programmers' decisions matter, now move along 9430"

Wow, that would be awesome!

I hope you do it!

Hispania is the Latin name for the Iberian Peninsula (Spain + Portugal).

However, the term Hispanic usually refers to people from Spanish speking countries in the Americas (ie excluding Brazil, Guyana, Belize, etc), regardless of race.

The source code for SysV is floating around the Internet, but adding it to this repo would amount to copyright infringement.

SysV is apparently here: https://archive.org/details/ATTUNIXSystemVRelease4Version2

Yep, but please notice that AFAIK Novell holds the copyrights to this code, and (unlike the Ancient Unixen) it has not been released under a BSD-like license.

I just read this book last week!

It's an easy read, and it does a good job showing what Go is like. It piqued my interest, and yesterday I started reading 'Programming in Go: Creating Applications for the 21st Century' by Mark Summerfield. Does anybody know how it compares to 'The Go Programming Language Phrasebook' by David Chisnall?

I can't so how it compares, but I'm enjoying Programming in Go at the moment. It has the good sense to assume Go probably isn't your first language, so gets pretty quickly to the point rather than spending endless pages explaining what a conditional is.
